  • If you have a question about grammar, vocab, the story, cultural things or literally anything else related to the book — ask! There is really no need to be hesitant. If it’s something you are wondering about, chances are someone else will be thankful you asked first, lots of people enjoy answering questions, you learn something new, and the thread gets more lively. It’s a win-win on all fronts!

Well, that was a whole lot of “nothing much happened”. The scratch marks increased, but it wasn’t anybody’s room anyway, so what was the point. Hayato told his story, but wasn’t particularly suspected. The laundry is full of fur. Everyone seems rather relaxed.

The thing I’m most curious about is whether there is an actual hint that everyone (us included, I assume?) should already know. Is this actually a solvable mystery?

ツバメ telling them to vote for themselves is such a wolf move. I still don’t really think she’s the wolf. I honestly don’t think any of them are and I think there’s going to be a chapter at least of rules lawyering where the count tells them all that, actually, the wolf never needed to be one of the kids or something weasely like that.

If so, it’s got to be something about mealtimes I’d think. Or when they were very first brought to the manor.

ウサギ takes a nap every day I guess? If she was the wolf she, presumably, would have eaten the counselors and would have needed a nap the first day. ヤムネ would have been around to see that. That’s maybe the best that I can do.

I mean, according to 伯爵：「断言しよう。ゲームの参加者全員が、いつでも狼を言い当てることができる。今まで見聞きしたものをよく考えれば、君らより小さな子でも当てられるよ。」

I only trust him as far as I can throw him, and I can’t throw him at all because he never comes down from the inaccessible second floor.

For some reason I got wires crossed and though we were moving to two chapters a week, so I accidentally read next week’s chapter too.

Curious about this too, but not curious enough to go through the trouble of rereading the first couple chapters.

Yeah, I half expect there’s some detail we’ve all forgotten from a page 2 months ago where a bunch of actual Japanese children have already figured something out :stuck_out_tongue:

In our defense, I imagine all the Japanese children are reading this a lot faster than we are and have had a shorter time to forget.
